Mandy White, Altrincham BID Director, said: "The past 10 days have truly showcased Altrincham's rich culinary landscape. We've seen numerous sold-out events and a remarkable number of offer downloads.
"We can’t wait to build upon this success and expanding the event next year. We’re enormously grateful to have received UKSPF funding and sponsorship from Myerson Solicitors, and to all of the town’s businesses without whom this inaugural event would not have been possible.
"As A Taste of Altrincham comes to a close, we’d like to encourage everyone to participate in the remaining events and take advantage of the exclusive offers available until Sunday 9th March."
